I began collecting vintage lucite in the late 1990s from a company that is no longer in business called The Beadin Path. They would buy out excess inventory of stores beads and findings, that had never been “circulated” ie.. made into jewelry. I designed this lariat style of necklace after becoming obsessed with the leaves and flowers. I wanted a lightweight, yet stylish and approachable necklace. I use pearls, swarovski crystals and various gemstones, to marry the two colors of the focal leaf and flower, so they work well and play nicely together. The chain is something I had manufactured years ago and it’s made of electroplated gun metal, thus it does not turn or tarnish.

My stock of both chain and vintage lucite is dwindling, so get these while you can! Unexpected color combination of purple with a bright yellow flower.
